This shows that these substances conduct electricity as a solid. The next test was conductivity as a solution. From our findings, sucrose had poor conductivity, while ascorbic acid and sodium chloride had good conductivity. Ascorbic acid conducts electricity because
Gatorade has been around since 1965; it is now one of the main leading companies that provides athletes with drinks that replenishes the water, carbohydrates, and electrolytes in an athlete. Many professional athletes drink Gatorade so it comes with no surprise that the Gatorade Company came out with three new drinks called the G-series. These three drinks are meant to be drank before, during , and after being involved in some type of physical activity. After all no athelete wants to give half of what they are capable of performing. There are many ads about the g-series drinks but this one stood out in particular.
Lastly Gatorade has been proven to be a better equipped sports drink shown right here,“Gatorade contains 160 milligrams of sodium and 45 milligrams of potassium per serving, while Powerade contains 150 milligrams of sodium and 35 milligrams of potassium per serving. By comparison, Gatorade is slightly superior at replacing lost electrolytes.” As you can see Gatorade is better equipped for athletes proving the point that Gatorade is better than Powerade. In conclusion Gatorade and Powerade are very similar, but Powerade is less equipped for the task unlike Gatorade.
The observations that were made during the conductivity testing process were that, according to the chart given in the lab, the covalent compounds in solution had a low scale of conductivity, while the ionic compounds in solution had a high scale of conductivity. The sugar had a scale of 0 with no red light seen in the red LED and no light present in the green LED, and the levulose had a scale of 1 with a dim red light seen in the red LED and no light present in the green LED. The baking soda had a scale of 3 with a bright red light seen in the red LED, and dim light present in the green LED and the table salt had a scale of 4 with a very bright red light seen in the red LED and medium light present in the green LED. These observations prove that substances that are made of covalent bonds have a low conductivity in a solution, while the substances that involve ionic bonds have a high conductivity in solution. When Unknown Substance D was stirred in a beaker with the distilled water and tested for its conductivity, Unknown D’s conductivity in solution had a scale of 1 with a dim red light seen in the red LED and no light present in the green LED, just like levulose which is also a covalent compound.
Purpose The purpose of this project is to test common sports drinks for their electrolyte content and compare the results to the electrolyte content in common fruit juices. Hypothesis If fruit juices were to be compared to sports drinks for electrolyte content, then orange juice would contain the most electrolytes. Materials orange juice sports drink (Gatorade, PowerAde, Generic sports drink)
Since all sports drink products all have the same purpose, consumers would find it difficult to decide which the best product is for them and this is why the sports drink industry relies heavily on marketing. Gatorade opts to raise the price of its product to suggest premium quality, whilst Powerade opts to have a lower price, sacrificing the profit margin for higher sales (Investopedia, 2017). Since Gatorade was the first company to enter in the sports drinks market, it has the biggest
Research Question: To investigate and compare how different temperature (5℃, 15℃, 25℃, 35℃, 45℃) can affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in soda water through titration with sodium hydroxide solution. Introduction: Carbon dioxide plays an important role in soft drinks. Soda water is manufactured by pumping carbon dioxide into water under high pressure. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is the fizz we find in soft drinks. CO2 + H2O ⇌
Following my “revelation” about the negatives of sports drinks, I set out to find alternatives that would be better for my health, but would still offer taste benefits. One popular alternative that I have found is coconut water. According to research from Lynne Kammer, coconut water has been found to be as effective at rehydrating athletes as water and sports drinks. Additionally, coconut water has fewer calories than most sports drinks. It also gives athletes many wholesome nutrients, compared to drinks such as Gatorade that are full of artificial colors and added sugars.
The Gatorade Company is a sports-themed beverage and food product producer that is manufactured by PepsiCo It was created by scientists at the University of Florida College of Medicine in 1965 as a replenishment drink for athletes. Currently, it is distributed in over 80 countries worldwide and is a leading brand in sports drinks. Since PepsiCo's acquisition of Gatorade, they have deployed both line and brand extensions to increase revenue and to expand the brand. Throughout the years they have introduced a variety of flavors, a variance in sports drinks, food, and clothing with their logo. Recognizing that trends were shifting to healthier lifestyles, PepsiCo embarked on its newest innovation with their proposition of a healthier version of
Electrolyte Challenge: Sports VS Orange Juice Every year sport drink companies spend millions of dollars on advertising there drink they advertise what the drink can do and how it can help you stay awake during your day but what they advertise the most are the electrolytes they supply to your body. Electrolytes are minerals in your blood that you lose from sweat, they transfer energy through your body regulate fluid balance and transport nutrients they are very important to your health and help you overall with your day. In my project i am experimenting which gives you more of the needed electrolytes that help you stay awake. Sports drink A glance at the beverage aisle in a supermarket shows that sports drinks are growing in popularity
The last person I interviewed asked if energy drinks had a higher voltage compared to water or if they had the same voltage. All liquids have a voltage this is where we get our energy from. The reason energy drinks have a voltage is because of the high amount of caffeine they have in them and the reason water has a voltage is because of the process that water goes through to be cleaned. The water particles rubbing together cause friction giving the water a static electric charge. In order to test which energy drink has the highest voltage to give the most energy I am going to use a zinc nail, copper wire, a volt meter and four different energy drinks and water.
Variables: Independent variable: Type and Amount of Fruit Dependent Variable: Voltage and Current of Fruits Control Variable: Environment, Type of Metals, Wires Used, Multimeter Used Hypothesis: Because of lime being the most acidic out of the fruit, it will have the highest voltage whereas zucchini or cherry tomato will have the lowest, as the vegetables are lower in acidity. Materials: Four different fruits (Apple, Zucchini, Lime, Cherry Tomato)
It is clear that Gatorade’s long run success is mainly because of the quality of their products. Although advertising, commercials, public relations, celebrity endorsements, and sponsorships all add to the brand’s value,
Dejah Atwood Mrs. Combass ENC1101 2 February 2015 Bottled Water is More Convenient than Tap Water The controversy between bottled water and tap water is a neverending debate. Some people argue contaminants in tap water while others argue chemical usage in bottled water. Looking at one or the other side, both types of water are extremely similar. Bottled and tap waters both go through multiple processes to be accepted as drinking water.
Each day there were three games. Randomly the players took a powdered caffeine energy drink dissolved in 250mL of tap water to get 3 mg/kg of caffeine per kg, or the same drink with no caffeine content. Eight players with caffeine and eight players with placebo for each competition day. The placebo drink and energy drink looked identical and had similar taste. The beverages were in opaque plastic bottles, consumed one hour before the game.
